The Best and the Brightest — Kristine Kathryn Rusch

In a 1960s Chicago where Bobby Kennedy serves as president, Mayor Daley rules the city and Martin Luther King, Jr. finds himself victim to a failed assassination attempt, the African-American community hoped Willis would change the world. But when his chance comes in the form of a story implicating Kennedy and Daley in the hit on King, Willis must make a choice: make history or turn his back on his community -- and the truth.

An unforgettable alternate history tale by Sidewise Award winner Kristine Kathryn Rusch.

“Rusch's short fiction is golden.”
